Volkan Demirel’s claim about Fenerbahce
Volkan Demirel evaluated Fenerbahce’s game and performance after their 2-2 draw against Samsunspor in the 9th week of the Super Lig. Fenerbahce took the lead in the 24th minute with a goal from Tadic and went into halftime with a 1-0 advantage. Samsunspor equalized in the 49th minute with a goal from Holse. In the 62nd minute, Saint-Maximin, who had come on as a substitute, put Fenerbahce ahead once again, but Soner Aydogdu’s goal in the 88th minute resulted in both teams sharing the points.
Evaluating the match on TV 100, Fenerbahce’s former captain and now a commentator, Volkan Demirel, mentioned a sense of unhappiness and hopelessness within the club. He stated, “Why the unhappiness? Because of the environment they are in. And why the hopelessness? We were all expecting something. We were expecting something from Jose Mourinho, from the new transfers.”
‘NOTHING HAS CHANGED’
Experienced commentator Volkan Demirel also made a claim regarding Fenerbahce’s decline in performance and gameplay strength. He said, “We were saying, let’s see how things are after the international break, but right now, nothing has changed, and it seems like this will continue. We were hoping to see some change or variability, but it didn’t happen.”
DOES FENERBAHCE DEFEND WITH 7 PLAYERS?
The young coach pointed out that Mourinho did not adjust his tactics based on the opponent. He said, “We haven’t seen any changes in the game plans between home and away matches or in player selections tailored to the opponents. Or when you’re leading 2-1, does Fenerbahce defend with 7 players? Big question mark.”
Volkan Demirel concluded his remarks by stating that Fenerbahce fans are unhappy, hopeless, and confused.
